Profile:
A steady keeper, and England's first choice for a number of
years. One of the great appealers, both in quality and volume,
George Duckworth was a compact, powerful man whose greatest
virtue as a keeper was consistency, although his quickness and
agility resulted in some remarkable leg side catches and
stumpings. In the latter part of his career he was often the
second-string England keeper, Ames being preferred for his
better batting. After retirement he became the county scorer,
and accompanied many England overseas tours as baggage-man (Dave
Liverman, 1998).
